Lunar Probabilities.

The weather predictions of the early
part ofthe century were furnished by the
almanacs according to table "constrnc-
ted on philosophical principles" This
table simply showed the weather that
would follow changes" of the moon at
the different hours of the day. The abb
surdity of this rubbish-in which there are
unfortunately still many believers-is
evident when it is considered that the
moon 10 changing continually and stead
hy. snd not at quarter-monthly intervals.
That there is no connection whatever be-
tween the moons phases and the weather
has been shown in France and In England
by the most elaborate comparisons OF
meteorological records,in which the Green
wich observations for forty years were
carefully collated with the moons phases
for that period. The solitary observable
effect ofsthe moon upon our atmosphere
was believed by Sir John Herschel to be
tendency to the disappearance of Clouds
under the full moon, and this he attribn-
ted to the heat radiated from it's surface.
Theoretically the moon should produce
slight tides in our atmosphere twice q
day, and Prof. Daniel has been able to
detect these tides by close barometrical
observation. No further influence can be
discovered, and 1t may be taken as q set
tied fact that the moon no more affects
our weather than the SUMS passage of the
equator produces "equinoctial" storms.

Good use for Onions.

Those who are in the habit of indulging
in raw onions may be consoled for the
mature and ablebodied odor which wraps
them as veil, and causes men, women
and children to flee from their malodorus
vicinity, by the fact that onions are the
best nervine known. No medicine is
really so efficacious in cases of nervous
prostratiou, and they tone up a worn out
system in very short time. Their alb
sorbent powers are also most valuable,
especially in time of epidemic. 1t has re-
peatedly been observed that an onion
patch in the immediate vicinity of house
acts as shield against the pestilence,
which is very apt to pass over the inmates
of that house. Sliced onions in sick
room absorb all the germs and prevent
contagion. During an epidemic, the CON
frmed onion eater should eschew his
usual diet, as the germs of diseass are
present in the onions and contagion car
easily result.

A Holiday for the Wife.

Give your wife vacation. She needs
one. Little cares are harder to bear than
greater responsibilities, and she has many
more cares than her husband, and some
times as great responsibilities. A wo-
mans work is never done. And modern
life has increased and intensified it. Cares
have multiplied faster than conveniences.
Life is more complex, it's demands are
greater and more numerous, society more
exacling. Who needs a vacation, if she
does not F.! And she cannot get it at home.
The more quiet and restful the home ia to
you, the more evidence that it is q care, If
not burden, to her. A housekeeper can
no more take vacation in her home than
merchant in his countinghouse. Even
though her absence occasions inconven.
ience. give her an occasional vacation

Mary's Little Lamb.

Many of our young readers will be sur
prised to hear that the we'll known nur-
sery song of "Mary had Little Lamb" is
q true story, and that "Mary" is still liv-
ing. About seventy years ago she was a
little girl, the daughter of farmer iD
Worcester county, Massachusetts. She
was very fond of going with her father to
the fields to see the sheep, and one day
they found baby lamb which was
thought to be dead. Kind hearted little
Mary, however, lifted it up in her arms,
and as it seemed to breathe carried it
home, made it q warm bed near the stove
and nursed it tenderly. Great was her
delight when, after weeks of careful feed
ing and watching, her little patient began
was able to run about.
1t knew its young mistress perfectly,
always came at her call, and was happy
only when at her side. One day it fol
lowed her to the village school, and not
knowing what else to do with it, she put
it under her desk and covered it with hel
shawl. There it stayed until Mary was
called up to the teachers desk to say hel
lesson, and then the lamb walked qnietly
after her and the other children burst oul
laughing. So the teacher had to shut the
little girl's pet in the wood-shed unit
school was out. Soon after this q young
student, named Rollstone, wrote a little
poem about Mary and her lamb, and pre-
sented it to her. The lamb grew to be 1
sheep, and lived for many years, and wher
at last it died, Mary grieved so much fo
it that her mother took some of it's wool
which was Gas white as snow" and knitted
q pair of stockings for her to wear in re
membrance of her darling.
Some years after the lambs death, Mr'
Sarah Hall, celebrated woman who wrot
books, conn posed some verses about Mary
lamb, aud added them to those written b,
John Rollstone, making the complet,
poem as we know it. Mary took sucl
good care of the stockings made of he
lambs fleece that when she was grow
up woman she gave one of them to
church fair in Boston. As soon as it be
came known that the stockings was mad
from the fleece of "Mary's little lamb
every one wanted piece of it. So th
stocking was raveled Out and the yarn Gu
into small pieces. Each piece was tied t
a card on which Mary wrote her full nam
and these cards sold so well that the
brought the large sum of $140 in the Oh

The Old Fashioned Girl.

Bishop Congrove of Davenport, Iowa.,
delivered a notable sermon in that city
Sunday on the immortal tendencies of the
time through the breaking down of safe
guards which once protected girls and
young women. As a model for the rising
generation the bishop pictured the "old
fashioned grip of thirty years ago in the
following manner:
"She was little girl until she was ff.
teen years old, and she helped her mother
in her household duties. She had her
hours of play and enjoyed herself to the
mother, Il can't-I don't want to- for
obedience was to her a cherished virtue.
She arose in the morning when called and
we do not suppose she had her hair done
up in paper and crimping pins, or banged
over her forehead. She did not grow into
q young lady and talk about her beau be-
fore she was 10 her teens, and she did not
read dime novels, nor was she fancying q
hero in every plough boy she met. The
| old fashioned girl was modest in her de-
| meanor, and she never talked slang nor
used by-words. She did not laugh at old
people, nor make fun of cripples She
had respect for cripples. She had respect
| for her elders, and was not above listen
ing to words of counsel from those older
than herself, She did not know as much
as her mother, nor did she think that her
| judgment was as good as that of her
grandmother. She did not go to parties
by the time that she was ten years old
and stay till after midnight, dancing with
any chance young man who happened to
be present. She went to bed in season,
said her prayers, slept the peace of inno-
ceuce, and rose up in the morning happy
and capable of giving happiness. And
now, if there be an old fashioned girl in
the world today, may heaven bless and
keep her and raise up others like her"

AWKWARD JoK1NG.-A gentleman of
wealth, while practicing penmanship one
day, wrote his name on a blank slip of
paper and allowed it to lie on his desk. 1t
attracted the attention Of neighbor, who,
for joke, filled in the space above the
signature in the form of promissory note,
and a few days afterward, the joking
neighbor presented the paper, with an of
fer to allow considerable discount if the
apparent drawer would cash it at the
time. The gentleman perceived the joke,
and the holder of the document, placing
it in his pocket, departed. and nothing
more was said about it. Subsequently the
holder was stricken with paralysis and
died, and his executors, finding the note,
and having no knowledge of the joke at
tached to it, brought suit, and recovered
the sum for which it was drawn. The
Joker had meant no harm, but he, as well
as bis friend had been careless, and some
one had to pay the penalty.

Drenching Horses.

For many disorders in the horse, Civ
ing remedies by pouring the same down
the animals throat in liquid state is
practiced, and, although the most speedy
benefits may sometimes be given in this
way, there is at the same time liability
to cause injury.
A veterinary surgeon says that when
the drench consists of substances in
stance, oil or grease-to which horses
have a natural aversion; when the sick
horse is suffering with disease which is
attended with fast breathing, like pneu-
monia, collie, etc., and when the fluid. as
is often the case, is poured down in a
forcible manner, it frequently happens
that part of the fluid enters the larynx
and goes down the windpipe into the
lungs, and causes there an Inflammation
which frequently becomes fatal. When
giving remedies in this way, hold the
horses head up. fill his mouth, and then
pinch and rub his throat until he swal
lows the liquid.

The FAT AND THE LEAN.-It is gen.
orally supposed that fat people have much
more blood than others. On the contra
rY they have less. The blood they have,
moreover, is really poor, while the fat fills
the space which is required even for the
circulation of that Fat people have then
less vital energy than the thin, not pos
sessing sufficient blood TO bring every or
gan up to its full working power, and the
fat hindering what blood there is from
flowing freely enough to the organs, es-
pecislly at the moment of action requiring
it. Beside all this, the fat obstructs the
play of the lungs, SO that sufficient air
cannot be inhaled to purify the blood; the
natural and necessary combustion is thus
90 interfered with that the functions of
the body are hindered. 1t follows that
too much exertion should always be
guarded against in people of large and
fatty development, and too much should
never be expected of them.
